It was evening when Qiang Yuanqing, the host, finally arrived late.

He first invited Yu Xinyu and the other person, then he invited Lou Baichuan, and then, thinking that he needed to promote the opening, he invited Pei Zhe as well.

Of course, there was also Yu Jinheng, who came uninvited despite not having planned to invite him.

When it came time to invite a few people to dinner that evening, he was in a dilemma. He wanted to get to know Lou Baichuan, but he also remembered that he needed to find out what was so special about the guy that Yu Xinyu was so obsessed with. He also remembered that he had invited Pei Zhe, so it was only right and proper for him to host a dinner. As for Yu Jinheng... Qiang Yuanqing felt a headache just thinking about it.

Both Lou Baichuan and Yu Xinyu only stayed for the weekend.

We will be returning home on Sunday afternoon.

Although Yu Jinheng didn't say it, Qiang Yuanqing guessed that if Yu Xinyu left him, he would naturally leave as well.

He was in a dilemma. During his conversation with Lou Baichuan that afternoon, he had subtly revealed this detail to gauge the other's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Lou Baichuan laughed and said, "They are acquaintances of mine."

"An acquaintance?" Qiang Yuanqing hadn't expected this.

He knew that Lou Baichuan should know Yu Xinyu, since they were in the same circle, but how could he know Cen Yu?

Lou Baichuan didn't keep anyone in suspense.

“Cen Yu works with me.”

Qiang Yuanqing then remembered that the company Lou Baichuan had recently visited was located in Tianhe Building, so he subconsciously asked, "Is it Tianhe Building?"

"yes."

"Tianhe Building." Qiang Yuanqing pondered the name for a moment, then smiled and teased Lou Baichuan, "This building has been appearing in the news quite a lot lately."

"When I was watching the news today, I accidentally clicked on a news item about Sang Qianshan."

Qiang Yuanqing brought it up casually, saying, "I remember the place where Sang Qianshan picks people up from get off work is in the Tianhe Building." He added casually, "Have you run into Sang Qianshan a few times before?"

"I didn't run into Sang Qianshan."

Qiang Yuanqing didn't care. He was just chatting casually, but he didn't expect Lou Baichuan to drop a bombshell the next second.

"However, I know the person Sang Qianshan picked up."

Qiang Yuanqing felt that Lou Baichuan's tone was a bit strange.

He pondered for a moment, but couldn't recall any conflict between Lou Baichuan and Sang Qianshan. If he had to say something, it would be the way Lou Baichuan paid excessive attention when he heard Sang Qianshan gossiping that day.

—Could it be that Sang Qianshan's mysterious object has some connection with Lou Baichuan?

Before he could even figure it out, he realized that Lou Baichuan had unleashed his ultimate move—

"The person Sang Qianshan picked up was Cen Yu."

"...?" Qiang Yuanqing subconsciously turned to look at Lou Baichuan.

He forgot to drink the tea he was holding, and after a few seconds, he stared blankly at Lou Baichuan like a silly goose.

"ah?"

...

Anyway, thanks to Lou Baichuan's secret facilitation and Qiang Yuanqing's absent-mindedness, what was originally just a dinner invitation to Yu Xinyu and her companion turned into a large meeting.

Qiang Yuanqing specifically asked Yu Xinyu about her, and also mentioned that there was another guest in the villa, Pei Zhe.

He hadn't expected Yu Xinyu to agree to add another person, but to his surprise, Yu Xinyu paused for a moment after listening and then readily agreed.

“Okay,” Yu Xinyu said, “It’ll be more lively with more people.”

"..." Qiang Yuanqing held his phone without saying anything. He felt that Yu Xinyu's tone was not saying that it would be more lively with more people.

The more people there were, the faster he could kill them.

He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

Then he thought of Yu Xinyu's older brother, and he was genuinely a little intimidated by Yu Jinheng. "Where is your older brother?"

"I don't dare invite him."

"Ignore him," Yu Xinyu said casually. "He's not stupid, and besides, does it make a difference whether you invite him or not?"

Qiang Yuanqing agreed with Yu Xinyu's point.

Inviting Yu Jinheng or not makes no difference. If he wants to go somewhere, he can go even without being invited. If he doesn't want to go, it won't matter even if you invite him. Forget about what this big shot thinks.

Qiang Yuanqing felt exhausted.

...

Qiangyuanqing Hot Spring Mountain was initially designed as a high-end resort, emphasizing privacy, with each villa separated by various flowers, trees, and artificial hills.

However, in case there is a need for banquets, there is also a separate venue for banquets.

Since it was a resort hotel and there weren't many people, Qiang Yuanqing specifically emphasized that everyone should just dress comfortably and there was no need to be too formal. Cen Yu's only clothes, besides the jacket that Yu Xinyu had soaked, were the sweatshirt he was wearing now.

Wearing a hoodie didn't really suit him, so he changed into the beige casual top that Yu Xinyu had temporarily lent him.

Yu Xinyu also chose a piece that was extremely similar to his in both style and color.

Although the two pieces of clothing are similar in style, they give off completely different vibes when worn by the two people.

Cen Yu has a cold and aloof look, especially when he is not speaking. The soft beige top he is wearing perfectly balances the coldness in his demeanor, making his overall temperament more gentle.

Although Yu Xinyu's expression looks soft and gentle, her frame and stature give her a sense of nobility.

The two rode in the butler's car and soon arrived at the place where Qiang Yuanqing was holding a banquet.

As soon as Yu Xinyu got out of the car, she looked at Lou Baichuan, who was already standing at the door.

Lou Baichuan changed into a casual shirt. After seeing Yu Xinyu, he nodded and then greeted Cen Yu behind him, "If you didn't drive here, I can give you a ride when I leave tomorrow."
